I considered this aspect some years ago. It is a desirable outcome of the IRS.
It will not happen. The underground economy pays sales tax.
The underground economy is a very free group that can NEVER get credit from the banks.
The government knows this. That underground will destroy this country if they take away their barter. I know this and so do you.

Naivete raises its ugly head. If you think that the government is afraid of its people, just watch when it has complete economic control. Why do you think they want this and are moving towards this with your complicit acquiescence? You are a useful idiot, or are actively helping in that endeavor.
